Hi.
Out of the box, that is, using master (specifically SHA 18f390af8f11d24c)
./configure fails when building on an ARM Mac. The problem is that the
canonical triple has the form aarch64-apple-darwin20.1.0, but configure.ac is
looking for a triple of the form arm-*.
After changing arm to aarach64, I was able to build successfully both a Cocoa
and X11 versions (the latter pretty minimal, given that toolkits are still
being ported).
Here is the diff for ease of refence:
diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac

The arm-* bit was added recently to Emacs, from a two-year-old patch:
commit 4cba236749aafade7bd88cf2a10be48f44983faa
Author: Roland Kaufmann <rlndkfmn+emacs@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Thu Dec 27 15:51:49 2018 +0100
Commit: Alan Third <alan@idiocy.org>
CommitDate: Sat Aug 15 17:06:31 2020 +0100
Allow build configuration on Apple ARM devices (bug#41994)
So it sounds like arm-* was in use, and it's now aarch64-*? In which
case adding the latter, instead of altering it, is the right change here?

I'm unsure. I've googled a bit and found stuff saying that Apple used
to use arm64, but now everyone uses aarch64. I don't know if the
original patch had ever actually been tested on an ARM Mac.
If Roland Kaufmann doesn't respond with a better plan, I suppose we'd
be safest just adding it as you suggest.

FWIW, uname -m and clang --version both report arm64 (not arm), but it seems
that config.sub normalizes this to aarach64. See commit 5d89a9c2846d32b47.

Ah, this was in July of this year:
+ arm64-*)
+ cpu=aarch64
+ ;;
So I think Itai's patch looks correct, and I'm applying it to Emacs 28.

On second thought -- that's just arm-64, though. Does arm-32 still
exist in an Apple context?

The original was tested on an earlier architecture. Porque no los
dos? That is:
i[3456]86-* | x86_64-* | arm-* | aarch64-*) ;;
Yours sincerely,

Yup. I've now made this change on the trunk.
